That marketing plan for that new initiative I mentioned here quite some time ago was finally accepted last night, so it’s now full-steam ahead with my first self-created marketing plan here. Here’s hoping to success.
Tomorrow begins the 2007 contender for “Weekend of the Year”, taken in 2006 by Paul, Mark, and myself’s first day of Steve’s Music, MEC, and Waterloo Dark at Big Daddy’s on the patio. While that was good tomorrow shall start with another trip to Authentic Mexican Restaurant followed by a Kelly Joe Phelps show at Hugh’s Room. Phelps is arguably the world’s top slide guitar player and is sure to put on a great show. Tomorrow we’re hitting Anna Olson’s bakery in Port Dalhousie on our way to Buffalo for a trip to Guitar Center, some CD stores, Consumer’s Beverage, Premier Gourmet, and I imagine the Walden Galleria, although that’s not been decided. I plan to return with the new Roger Clyne, Son Volt, and Josh Rouse CDs as well a trunk full of beer unattainable in our Government monopoly of Ontario. Sunday is guitar day as Mark must return to work, and with about three new songs in various states of undress it will be an effort to dress them up and take them out so we can actually do something with Blues for Pablo’s empty MySpace page.
Sadly, the best weekend of 2007 is getting off to a slow start – Anna Olson will not be in the bakery. This makes Mark and I sad, and like most things, Paul indifferent.
